What's that 'one thing' you really screwed up?

You're not perfect- I know you fucked that shit up the first time you tried it... What did you screw up, and how did you do it?
*If you don't respond-may all your grows be cursed forever and eternity...*
----------------------------------- I'll start off the post by sharing this: The first time I tried to cultivate BRF jars- I flamed the needle once and wiped down the needle with a paper towel soaked with oust (air sanitizer) between every inoculation. Needless to say, every single one of my jars except #1 had some nasty contams in it. I threw away 11 jars out of 12 and fruited ONE lonely jar. After that, I didn't attempt to grow cubensis for another 4-5 years, and here I am now. Lol ----------------------------------- Respond! or all of your fruits will contain barbiturates instead of actives...
(Don't be a jerk-share your terribleness!)

I used an entire syringe in my first 6 jars (fuck up #1)...followed the pf tek without using a PC.(fuck up #2) And overall feel I made the substrate too wet. (Fuck up #3)

My first time with BRF deterred me from trying again for 2-3 years as well. Complete failure. I used the tall half pint canning jars and they stalled went green. I wish I didnt give up so easy. The process was such a pain in my mind at that time but now seems so simple. I just wasnt ready. Next time I went with 1/4 pint jars with complete success.
Next fuck up was trying to inoculate a grain jar with 10cc of spore solution. That jar turned to shit very fast. This was probably around 3 months ago after skimming through some grain teks on shroomery.
Since then I have participated on the forums a lot more. I have given advice and taught others. I have given bad advice and have been corrected. I have learned a SHOTTONNE about this hobby and have decided to move on from PF TEK. Feeling confident. Im litterally in the process of PCing 6 quart jars of grain as im typing this. I have a couple clean agar plates with mycelium ready to inoculate.
Couldnt have got this far without the buncha assholes in this great community. Thanks shroomery! You guys rock!

I mean if we're looking at the things you actually regret the most. That's definitely the one. There was one summer in 2012? I had to toss well over 30 tubs to trich. Looking back at it I wish I could have screamed at me to do agar. So fuckin easy to do, and everything is so easily obtained locally.
Also did squirt 3 syringes of spores over a box of fresh horse manure with saran wrap over it. that was my first attempt at growing. Did no reading and wasted 3 syringes 
After like 2 months or something, it definitely didn't look good

Well once I met this lady, banged her, and took off, and I didn't wrap it up. That was quite some time back... if there were a child I think they'd potentially be old enough to post here already..
I regret it though, because sometimes I think about that child I've never met and how I never got to tell him things like "shut up and eat your french fries" or "I'll give you something to cry about".

On my first try all I did was inoculate 6 jars of rice. And I was using a styrofoam cooler with a moist towel in the bottom as a fc. somehow I managed to get 21 grams fresh out the one cake that survived. blew my mind. Maybe it was because it was my first time idk. At first I got sick and started thinking that I had grown poisonous mushrooms. I was laying in my bathroom floor convinced that I was gonna die lol. After that it was all good though haha. fun times.

On my first grow I did BRF cakes in giant ass jars. I had to smash the things just to get them out. Then I proceeded to fruit them in a SGFC. Probably would have got 10x the yeild dividing them up as spawn for 2 monos....

on my next go I decided to forgo the dry verm layer cuz it didn't seem important. Lost 12 jars that way.
I also set my sab on fire....

Before I knew to watch for post dates or even considered that cultivation has progressed drastically I threw brf verm hpoo coffee and coir into 40 pint jars. I put those into an incubation box with multiple heating pads which I thought ran around 80 degrees. Turns out it was near 100-110. Inoculated with syringes made from dirty prints made with no SAB.
Couldn't figure out why they were all trash. Ran this setup for a few months and decided I would leave "experimenting" to those that knew what the hell they were doing. Keep it simple stupid.
That and catching my SAB on fire.

Using my 23 qt presto box with saran wrap as a sab, spraying the fuck out of it with Lysol and then onto agar without letting the Lysol settle did that for a few weeks before I got tired of wondering why I had a 99.9% failure rate

Its my 2nd year into cultivating and I am still not into agar.

I think your boy is old enough to post here and does it too, I've seen him. There he is, two posts up^. Acknowledge your boy already!
